I loved TextMate.

But I think the facts speak for themselves now...

- their site is now little more than a vanilla bootstrap theme

- their News section hasn't been updated since 2014

- the blog appears to be miscellaneous developer notes that may or may not even be related to TextMate

...I'd agree with the sentiment that development appears to be dead.

That said, I think Sublime is as worthy a spiritual successor as any. (It also may be the biggest reason for TextMate's demise.)

FWIW, Textmate itself gets pretty frequent updates (latest one was on Feb 25th). It has also been open-sourced[1].

I had no idea... I was basing my conclusion on the TextMate site, and both of these facts are kinda buried.

Gonna have to give TM another go sometime soon.
